[Framers] activation dialog for old Adobe software

[Craig Ede]

My experience has been that older versions of TCS will run using the version of Acrobat that came with them. And any version of FrameMaker should have it's own version of the headless Acrobat that allows it to produce PDFs. Of course, this means that what every 'older' version is being use will have whatever security problems that have been fixed in the newer versions.

Acrobat 8? You can't reactivate that any more. The activation servers have
been shut off because they couldn't be kept running anymore, and the
software won't work on new hardware/software.

If you need to create PDFs, forms, have shared reviews, etc., you'll either
have to subscribe to Acrobat or find another product.
